Bent SIM card

[UseAndroid86]

I've been battling no signal on this phone since day 1. When I say no signal I mean the Ghostbusters emblem next to battery percentage. No signal. I've been through 3 SIM cards and after new sim card the problem goes away for a week or two then returns. I'd put the sim card in my S21 Ultra and then it would also start having no signal issues when it never did before. Today I removed the sim card and I noticed it was cupped slightly. I'm wondering if the pins inside are applying too much pressure to the center and over time it cups the SIM card where then the signal goes out. I bent the sim card to where it's straight and now no issues. I thought I'd share my thoughts as it's been very frustrating. I love this phone but some days I have to restart phone 10 times then it works fine for 20 minutes and then starts acting up again. Anyone hear of phones bending sim cards? I noticed when I'd take the sim card out it never fit snug into sim tray and then when I'd get a new sim I'd tell Verizon rep and he'd say the new one fit snug to him which is more evidence the old sim cards had a bend to them and the new sim cards didn't.

Sounds like you have a defective sim tray can you get it repaired or if that bad get device replacement

Sim cards can be tricky to insert properly. Have you considered switching to an eSim instead?

Going esim is an interesting idea. Never thought of that option.
